Identificación de genes de resistencia a carbapenémicos en enterobacterias de hospitales de Perú, 2013-2017

RESUMEN La diseminación global de carbapenemasas es de importancia en la salud pública. El objetivo del estudio es describir la presencia de genes de resistencia a carbapenémicos tipo KPC y metalobetalactamasas en enterobacterias aisladas de 12 hospitales y remitidos al Laboratorio de Referencia Nacio...

Draft genome sequence of Chryseobacterium limigenitum SUR2T (LMG 28734T) isolated from dehydrated sludge

Braz. j. microbiol; 49 (1), 2018
ABSTRACT The type strain SUR2 of the novel species Chryseobacterium limigenitum was isolated from a dehydrated sludge of the municipal sewage treatment plant in Dogoše near Maribor in Slovenia. The draft genome, with 60 contigs, 4,697,725 bp, 34.4% of G+C content, was obtained using the Illumina HiS...

Effect of polymyxin B-containing regimens on renal function for the treatment of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriacea mediastinitis

Braz. j. infect. dis; 22 (1), 2018
ABSTRACT A retrospective cohort study, were evaluated: polymyxin B plus aminoglycosides or polymyxin B plus other antibiotics. Any degree of acute kidney injury occurred in 26 (86.6%) patients. The median time to acute kidney injury was 6.0 (95% CI 3-14) days in the polymyxin-aminoglycoside containing re...

Isolation of blaNDM-producing Enterobacteriaceae in a public hospital in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil

Braz. j. infect. dis; 22 (1), 2018
ABSTRACT Carbapenemases have great importance in the global epidemiological scenario since infections with carbapenemase-producing bacteria are associated with high mortality, especially in hospitalized patients in intensive care units. This study describes two microorganisms producers of the New Delhi M...

Pyomyositis and fasciitis by carbapenem resistant microorganism in a patient with severe tophaceus gout

Rev. colomb. reumatol; 24 (4), 2017
Abstract Pyomyositis, defined as a suppurative muscle infection, is a rare entity that is classified as tropical or non-tropical according to the geographical region. The case of a patient with a history of severe tophaceous gouty arthritis, coming from tropical wet climate in Colombia, who presented wit...

Plasmid-mediated mcr-1 in carbapenem-susceptible Escherichia coli ST156 causing a blood infection: an unnoticeable spread of colistin resistance in Brazil?

Clinics; 72 (10), 2017
OBJECTIVE: We describe an IncX4 pHC891/16mcr plasmid carrying mcr-1 in a colistin-resistant and carbapenem-susceptible E. coli isolate (HC891/16), ST156, which caused a blood infection in a Brazilian patient with gallbladder adenocarcinoma. METHODS: Strain HC891/16 was subjected to whole genome sequenci...

New Delhi metalobetalactamase (NDM): uma revisão

Rev. bras. anal. clin; 49 (1), 2017
O surgimento da enzima metalobetalactamase "New Delhi" (NDM-1) incrementou a possibilidade das bactérias se tornarem multirresistentes. Esta betalactamase foi relatada pela primeira vez em 2009, em isolados clínicos de Klebsiella pneumoniae e Escherichia coli oriundos de um paciente sueco hospitalizado...
